The Finance and Administration Director of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Emmanuel Appah, has cautioned Church leaders to prioritise spiritual integrity when appointing individuals to manage church finances.
Speaking at the CME-Francophone conference in Lomé, Togo today [February 19, 2026], he stressed that handling church resources requires both spiritual maturity and professional competence.
According to Pastor Appah, individuals entrusted with church finances must demonstrate the fear of God alongside the necessary technical skills.
He noted that while persons with strong spiritual qualifications but limited academic training can be equipped through training when necessary, it is dangerous to entrust church resources to individuals who possess professional competence but lack spiritual integrity.
“We must be careful who we entrust the Church’s resources to,” he cautioned.
He described financial management in the Church as stewardship of God’s resources and urged ministers to exercise wisdom and accountability in handling funds.
He explained that the Church grows when sound financial and administrative structures are maintained, adding that integrity remains central to effective stewardship.
